Manage purchasing settings

Configure purchase orders, part descriptions, and general ledger codes

Written by Christy Umberger

Purchasing settings allow you to customize and manage purchase orders for your site all in one place.

General ledger codes are an enterprise-only feature. Reach out to our support team to learn more.


Managing purchasing settings

  1. Go to Operations > Configuration center > Workspace configuration > Purchasing settings.

  2. Purchasing settings are site-based. Choose the site you'd like to manage.

  3. Make updates as needed. Customization options include:

    • Set a purchase order prefix

    • Customize purchase order footer text

    • View the existing purchase order image, if there is one.

    • Choose which custom part fields appear in purchase order descriptions

    • Manage general ledger codes

    • Choose a purchase request assignee

    • Select a default tax rate

    • Choose whether to automatically mark bills as paid

Customize part descriptions in purchase orders

  1. From Purchasing settings, select Customize part descriptions.

  2. Click Add fields to add the part fields you want shown in purchase order descriptions.

  3. Click the Preview mode tab to review how the description will appear.

  4. Click Save part description.

Manage general ledger (GL) codes

  1. From Purchasing settings, select Manage general ledger codes.

  2. Click Create code.

  3. Enter the general ledger code and an abbreviation of up to six characters. Optionally, add a description and an associated asset.

  4. Click Create code.

  5. Click Done.

To edit or delete a code, hover over it and click the pencil icon or delete icon.

You can create and manage GL codes here, but selecting a GL code on an individual purchase order is coming to the new desktop in a future release.
